CV joint help

[MaccyD]

My cv boot is gone and i think the cv itself is dodgy so decided to replace the lot. its the outboard one on the passenger side. the cheapest option is to buy a brand new cv joint assembly, are these very hard to swap over??? also there seemed to be 2 types for 2 different types of splines, if anyone could shed some light on that too it would be apreciated.

cheers

Here's a neat guide I saw a while back:

It isn't specifically for an EP but it'll help you understand the operation better.

cheers for that mate, trying to find out if its difficult on a starlet specifically, but i suppose its pretty universal. il ask the guy at work. said he'd do it for £30, plus it was 50 for the cv only but 480 for the driveshaft assembly, what a rip!

thanks again!
